doubled up in bed with cholera morbus,
after eating water melon before rctir-

improvements tied themselves in double

day he got it patented, and made

man, "Ingersoll discovered that there

"Well, it is all the same" said the
kicker. Cholera morbus is hell when
it gets you down, and walks on you
with both feet. But, all l want is to
show you people that l am not the first
inventor to make great discovery in
bed, asleep. and dreaming. A good
dreamer ought to cultivate his dream

"Well, you have given us breeze
enough about your invention for heat

tell us what it is"

around.

was to touch match to the ice, and it
burned. A blow pipe was fixed so
that jar, like that of train going off
the track, would cause air to force
itself through the blow pipe, and the
ice was at once extinguished. My idea
would be to use refrigerator filed
with ice, instead of stove, in cars. In
summer it would keep the cars cool,
and in winter all you would have to do
would be to touch a match to your ice
and let her go, Gallagher In case of
accident the rush of air through the
blow pipe would put the fire out, or if
there was not air enough to put it out.
Some blower in the Car. some drummer
for instance, could blow in the pipe.

who was little sensitive about the old
kicker's using a drummer to blow out
his fire, "what chemical is it that you
propose to mingle with ice to make it

"That is the only drawback to my
invention" said the old kicker. 81
